The Japanese-bred Hokkaido Miss will head to the stables of Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott on a winning note after breaking her maiden on the all-weather track at Chantilly on Boxing Day - and to give the race an extra Australian flavour, she defeated the Redoute's Choice colt Balannjar by one and three-quarter lengths.
Second behind the stakes-placed Amazing Lips (Camelot) when making her debut over 10-furlongs at Saint-Cloud on September 19, Hokkaido Miss was coming off a fifth-place finish over the same distance at Chantilly on October 12.
Waterhouse, in association with Satomi Oka Bloodstock, had purchased Hokkaido Miss as a foal (pictured) for the equivalent of US$250,000 at the 2015 JRHA Select Foal Sale in Japan.
The same connections also paid slightly more for a Novelist colt out of the Sunday Silence mare Peace Of The World.
Named Wolfe, he trotted up by two and a quarter lengths when making his debut over 1400 metres at Kembla Grange on October 27 before keeping his unbeaten record intact with a length win over 1600 metres at Hawkesbury on November 14.
Hokkaido Miss comes from the first crop of Horse Of The Year and twice Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe runner-up Orfevre.
She is out of Four Sins, a German-bred daughter of Sinddar, who won the Group II Blandford Stakes in Ireland.
